We're launching a separate app for Zepto Café next week! The team is shipping an MVP and iterating quickly, so it may not be perfect on Day 1, but it's worth it to launch fast :D Café is scaling rapidly: we're launching 100+ Cafés a month and already clocking 30K orders/day 🚀

Today, we announced the launch of Zepto Atom - an advanced data insights subscription for Consumer Brands in India. The Zepto Atom subscription is a top-up to the already existing Zepto Brand Portal (which gives brands listed on the Zepto platform basic day-to-day data on their…
The S&P 500 now has 3 YC companies: DoorDash, Airbnb and Coinbase.
During my last trip to San Francisco, I had a great conversation with Garry Tan (the CEO of Y Combinator) on YC's How to Build the Future podcast. Zepto is lucky to be a Y Combinator startup, and I honestly believe we wouldn't have gotten off the ground without them. I think…
At just 22 and 21, Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra have scaled @ZeptoNow to 1.5 million daily orders, $3B in GMV, and a $5B valuation—all in under three years. YC's @garrytan sat down with co-founder and CEO @aadit_palicha to unpack how a WhatsApp group during the pandemic…

It is easy to criticise consumer internet startups in India, especially when you compare them to the deep technical excellence being built in US/China. Using our example, the reality is this: there are almost 1.5 Lakh real people who are earning livelihoods on Zepto today - a…
As of mid-Feb, @headout has served ~22 times the no. of people that reside on this island.
Zepto Café has hit 100K orders/day. That's closing in on a $100M Ann. GMV with a ~50% steady-state GM. It hasn't been easy to get Café the ground and many challenges are still work-in-progress, but I believe this is the beginning of a revolution in India's QSR industry.
4 weeks ago, I put out my 2nd Zepto Café update when we hit 50,000 orders/day. Today, we've hit 75,000 orders/day! 50% month-on-month growth. Customer love is strong, the economics are working, and the team is fired up. Many more milestones to go 🚀

[Reposting from LI] In April '24, we shared that Zepto had crossed $1B in Ann. GOV. 8 months later, in Jan '25, we are now at $3B in Ann. GOV This milestone is due to the incredible Zepto team with whom I am confident we will continue growing with a path to PAT breakeven soon.

In December, I posted that we launched a new app for Zepto Café (food delivered in 10 minutes), which was doing 30K orders/day. Just 4 weeks later, we have crossed 50K orders/day - that's 60% month-on-month growth 🤯. It feels like Zepto is just getting started 🚀

One of the world's top growth equity firms in the making!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of avra — a 7-week program designed specifically for post-Series A CEOs looking to scale their companies effectively. As most startup founders are first-time CEOs, the journey can be daunting, and resources are scarce. That’s why we created…
671,023 Rakhis sold on Zepto this long weekend 🤯 If lined up vertically, those Rakhis would be long enough to go to outer space and back 🚀

Interesting trend seen in Rakhi sales :) Rakhis with Peacock & Morpankh seem to be in trend about 11% of the total Rakhis sold have Peacock or Morpankh in their designs; Followed by Rakhis with Lord Ganesha and Shiva at 5.5% and 4.2% respectively.

Every one at @ZeptoNow team is so excited to work with Giga ML they are sitting with us on the weekend for 8 hrs to scale our solution. Excited to work with the fastest growing company in the world.
